Default Medicals

Hi Shaz, this question came up recently on another forum and from the different replies it would appear prices vary GREATLY around the country. We live in York and paid the following;

Adult medical ?110
Adult x-ray ?55
Child medical ?55
Blood tests ?15
Extra hep B blood test for hubby as he works in health system ?30

Please note though that we had the March 2005 medicals. The new (August 2005) medicals which are currently being used are more thorough, have more blood tests and are an awful lot more expensive.

Unfortunately it would appear that the GP's can charge whatever the hell they want as we have to use them. :notfair: I know from some of the posts I mentioned earlier people managed to save a considerable amount of money by travelling to a different part of the country - it doesn't need to be far away (maybe the next city?) and may prove financially beneficial, particularly if there are 3 or 4 of you. :smiley9:

Sorry for the long post.
HTH
Louise
